A Great Country in an Imperfect World - America!

It is interesting how experience and education combined with exposure can refine our thoughts and opinions. I always knew that in the US was a great example for the world to follow but the years I have been out of the country has made me realize that there really is no other place that comes closer! Now let me justify before making broad statements here. For one, the tools in the legal system one has at disposal, i.e. the checks and balances as we call it in America. This in itself is a source of hope and confidence for everyone across the board. This is great to begin with after all, what is more important than your job - it means everything in todays world. Everyone has the opportunity to make it in America, granted of course that they are willing to plan one's life, set goals and work to achieve them.

On the other hand, we have countries that could be literally way ahead of the US considering the cultural and religious depth they possess but all that has been sidelined for reasons best known to them. The comparison here without digging too deep to sleep, highlights the early American spirit. This is a story of evolution and progressive effort. Untiring effort to build a nation from rags to riches. A story of work ethics, hard and dedicated labor towards sure success. The settlers fought the odds and united to build a great nation. God bless America!
